I would worry if this goes on for weeks at a time, but fortunately this sounds like something that is only set off by depression or sickness, which I think is normal for a lot of us. Personally, I've had the flu, and I haven't eaten more than a couple crackers in three days. Digestion is an energy consuming process, and when you're stressed or sick, it slows down.
Because of your period and the meds, I think your stomach is upset. I suggest snacking on things like crackers or pretzels, which absorb stomach acid and help it settle. Even if you're not eating meals, it's good to snack whenever possible.
Are you on birth control? Not only will it help ease the pain or periods but it also increases appetite.
